Show your Lifted 3rd Gens

I finally broke down and got the Icon 2.5 front suspension with remote adjustable reservoir with and tubular UCAs. Still waiting on the rear set which is back ordered for a few weeks.
Kinda regretting not getting smaller wheels with the new tires (275/60/20), but it just wasn't in the budget at the time.
As you can tell the bag end looks saggy now compared to teh front end. Cant wait to get the rear suspension in there.
Also need to find a decent front bumper for a winch.....

Just completed this upgrade on my old 2007 Expedition XLT.

3" Front 2.5" back lift from Supreme suspensions.
Granite Alloy 17x8.5 wheels with +25mm offset, and 315/70/17 BFG ATs.

Had to trim a small piece of plastic (~1/2") off of front bumper. Took about 30 seconds on each side with a dremel.

Handles well, and I love the look.View attachment 42347

What bumper is that?

I have a 2.5in lift kit for my 07, the lift says I'd be able to put 33's on, can somebody tell me if the box is right? I want to get the larger tires before I put the lift on but I want to make sure they won't be to big.

I went 2.5 on mine front and back and I was able to fit 33’s. Do have some rubbing on the sidestep and the front air dam corner when I turn in uneven places. Very minor though.

It's a body armor 4x4 desert series bumper for an 09-13F150

Did it take a little excessive work to make it fit?

No it didn't, Check out my media, I have photos on there of what I had to do.

Anyone ever find a valid source for extended/longer rear brake hoses?

It'd be worth reaching out to Goodridge and have them make you something. I'm running the stock length stainless lines without issue.

I saw those from Goodridge. Just noticed the new to me 2007 which is lifted, the rear lines are maxed out while its on a lift and in the air in my shop. I did happen to just email a company out of Indiana that makes custom brake lines but I'll try Goodridge as well.

If it matters I'm running a bit of lift on my truck (comfortably clearing 35s) and these have never maxed out with the truck off the ground. I suspect they're slightly longer than stock.

Sweeet! Thanks for that!

Black Betty before and after.. 3 - 2 in spacers, monroe struts, 2-3in Freedom Off Road UCA's , 20in Fuel wheels, and 20in Mud Tires in this pic, but now have Nitto Ridge Grapplers 305/55.

 

[ThwopKing]

Made a few changes to the truck I got from a member on here. New head & tail lamps... headlamps don't fit the best but we're cheap lol. Window tint and Then threw on some RTR wheels. Next is audio, exhaust and a few other items.

 

[ThwopKing]

Oh and the new RTR'S stick out just like I wanted them to....

This looks awesome, what lift and tire/wheel specs? I just picked up a black '17 EL and need to get some mods coming.

Sorry, just saw this. 2.5 inch rough country lift, 17'' Icon wheels, KO2 wheels. Planning to add a bull bar and some type of nerf steps to side pretty soon.

Looks great!! Do you have a straight on pic of the truck? I'd love to see a better view of the bull bar.

Sure, no problem @Nickp33 .. please excuse the paint underneath, i had painted bottom portion a bit blue at first.. and the left faded headlight lol. I also included the back blacked out emblems. Changed the whole interior from that ugly tan toooo blk and blue. Seats have to be a little touched up n can post a pic after. I also put 2 12" DB subs and DB amp..ohh and yes I did it myself.

That looks great! I'm also about to add some speakers. I haven't installed speakers since 1999, but I'm sure I can still figure that out. Are you happy with the two 12''s? I was considering 10''s. Also, did you upgrade the door speakers? I think mine sound terrible, but I'm not sure if I should change out the head unit to, or just change out my door speakers.

First time poster. Just bought a 2017 Limited. I have the 4 Expedition Bilsteins, and a 2”F / 1.5”R spacer lift. Bought both a while ago just to have them in hand due to supply chain. I only want an inch or 2 front and back to keep somewhat of a rake - as far as the rear wheel getting pushed forward, is that more exacerbated with shocks adjusted, or the spacer, or is it same result either way due to geometry?
